New World Season 2 Region Open

On September 8th, the new region 'New World Season 2' was launched. Four servers within the region—Pegasus, Phoenix, Aurora, and Vega—opened their doors. Much like the original New World, aside from passes and subscription items, there are no separate package products. Outfits will be sold in a limited capacity via paid items, gems, and silver coin purchases. New World Season 2 can be accessed by selecting it through the 'Region Select' button. For those curious about the finer details of New World Season 2, please check the official forum.

Participate in the Masters League!

The inter-server Black Night Archipelago competitive content, the Black Night Archipelago Masters League, opened on September 8th. To celebrate, the 'Participate in the Masters League!' event has begun, featuring missions where players participate in the Black Night Archipelago and hunt monsters. Reaching 300 minutes of participation in the Black Night Archipelago rewards players with 120 'Masters Coins', while hunting 3,500 monsters in the Black Night Archipelago grants 10 'Masters Treasures'. Masters Coins can be exchanged for a 'Hero Summon Ticket Selection Box I', Masters Treasures, Resonance Stones, and the Last Strike Treasure. Masters Treasures dish out rewards like a 'Hero Awakening Token Selection Box' and a 'Radiant Synthesis Vibe Selection Box', so dive into the Black Night Archipelago and grab those rewards.

Let Us Know! Issue Q&A

Q. Is it okay to play with a sub-job?
A. It is fine, but there is something you need to be careful about.

Arthdal Chronicles allows players to select an additional job as a 'sub-job' once they complete the 'Act 2 Chapter 15: Move to Hajesan' quest. After that, switching freely between the main job and sub-job becomes possible. Furthermore, common active and passive skills from the sub-job are applied simultaneously, providing a massive boost to character development. Unlike the main job, which cannot be changed, the sub-job can be swapped out by paying a certain fee. Consequently, questions regarding main and sub-jobs frequently pop up in the Arthdal Chronicles community.

Naturally, one user left the question: 'Can I just play exclusively with a sub-job instead of the main job?' To cut straight to the conclusion, while it won't break your gameplay, it creates a problem where autonomy in choosing sub-jobs is stripped away. For the user who asked, the current main job is Assassin and the sub-job is Dual Swords. If that user plays using Dual Swords, the other job gets locked as the Assassin. For example, combinations like [Dual Swords, Priest], [Dual Swords, Fighter], or [Dual Swords, Dangguri] become impossible. Only the [Dual Swords, Assassin] combination is available.

Of course, once job change tickets go on sale, players can use them to swap the main job to Dual Swords and the sub-job to Assassin while preserving skills. From then on, players can freely change the sub-job to other types while keeping Dual Swords. Until then, however, the Dual Swords and Assassin job choices remain locked, so keep this firmly in mind.

Q. When swapping spirits or mounts, can the exact same one appear again?
A. The exact same result as the previous one will not appear.

Acquiring spirits and mounts of Hero grade or higher grants players a chance to replace them for a set duration. It serves as a means to secure desired spirits and mounts through swaps. However, a user posed the question: 'When swapping spirits or mounts, can the same one pop up again?' Since gems are being spent, nobody wants to see the exact same thing show up. Thankfully, Arthdal Chronicles ensures that the exact same spirit or mount from the immediately preceding result does not appear during a replacement. Do note, however, that this only applies to the immediate predecessor, meaning it could potentially show up again later down the line.

This Week's Improvement Status Board

Scheduler function modifications scheduled for late September

Added on August 26th, the 'Scheduler System' is a feature where players can directly configure 'Mercenary Missions - Alliance Missions - Rift Dungeons - Snake Scale Ravine - Temple of the Sun - Mihaje Ravine - Location Save List' to play the game automatically. Thanks to this, players can cycle through their daily routine without checking each piece of content manually, offering a clear convenience. However, a user pointed out that if 'Automatic Monster Counterattack' is turned off in the settings, the character gets stuck fighting monsters and fails to move on to the next routine.

In response, the Arthdal Chronicles team announced upcoming improvements via the improvement status board. Since this behavior was unintended, the team stated it will be fixed through the late September update. Detailed information will be provided in a future update notice, so let us hold tight for the late September update.
